Jonathan Sims will be hosting us at The Commons at Eudora Welty's Birthplace at 719 N. Congress Street. The performance area is a large room with an unfinished interior. It has a very spacious feel and all surfaces are wooden. There is also a small stage surrounded by windows at the far end of the room. There will be dancers and improvised video projection as well as cloth forms and drapes to be projected on and interacted with.

The happening occurs Wednesday, Feb. 25th from 7-9pm. It will be two 45-minute free improvisations with an audience/artist interaction period during intermission.

I've just been invited to perform with Mississippi Improv Alliance at yet another performance in their winter wednesdays series program. This one will be earlier in February, on the 11th.
